5.0 out of 5 stars Great fabric on the cotton spandex jersey legging

E. · June 18, 2023

I ordered a medium sized leopard print legging and I was super impressed with the rich coloring of the leopard print on the legging pants. The well stitched fabric was of excellent cotton quality with the stretch I needed to fit around my shape. This legging brand is something I would order again in other colors for the fabric quality, stitchwork, fit and comfort in wearing the leggings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Comfortable! <3

American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Leggings are very comfortable, I wore these all winter to go with long sweaters and long sleeved tops. They are 95% Cotton and 5% spandex so they fit no matter what your size. I loved that they were tapered on the bottom so that I could easily slip them into my snow boots and not have to worry about them riding up. I got the neutral color gray because they can be worn with just about any color sweater or top color. They fit like a second skin but are thick enough so they are not see through which is another thing in which I was looking for. You can move, bend, twist, and they move with you and they are soft and not hard scratchy material like a wool blend can be. I really recommend these and have since bought a pair in black.

4.0 out of 5 stars but cotton dyes better then other fabrics

E. · October 31, 2016

I purchased these leggings in white specifically so I could tie dye them (photo is after I dyed them). I normally don't wear high cotton content leggings, but cotton dyes better then other fabrics. These leggings are comfortable and soft. The material is a bit on the thinner side, but not too bad. I normally wear a size 10 and the large size legging is plenty roomy - I probably could have gotten the medium but decided to err on the larger side. The leggings are plenty long. Would like them to have added a gusset to the crotch for yoga, but not surprised that they lack one at this price point. For gentler yoga classes and general wear they are good, but I don't think they would stay put for more athletic types of yoga.

This is a great product and well worth the price. Many leggings are not much thicker than pantyhose, but these are! They are soft, comfortable, the high waist is great because it fits smoothly under a dress for outerwear and doesn't gap or slide down when wearing for yoga or exercise. One review I read stated the bottom of the leg was not tight to the ankle, but was more bootcut....this was absolutely not the case. The ones I received appeared exactly as they did in the picture. I like these so much that I am going to order more in other colors.1/3/17: This is an updated review, I was prompted after my 4th order of these leggings - getting more colors, because they are great under long sweaters and better than tights in colder weather under dresses. Still love them and the pairs that I purchased a couple years ago have held up very well after being washed and dried dozens (if not hundreds) of times.

I read the reviews, several said smaller than expected, but one lady, who is my size ( W16-18). said she got into an extra-large, but they were fine..I based my purchase on that review...however, when the leggings arrived, it was clear to me that they were very thin , cheap material, not made in USA ( because sizes are off with regards to foreign-manufactured clothing ) and, this XL was comparable to an American size ( junior 9/10 ) Sincerely, one could find a thicker material at KMart, and lesser price..When I think of what I paid for these grey thin cheap too tiny leggings ( too short, also ) I feel cheated...I seldom have time to review, only those items that are (. 5-star, or 1-star ) but, felt compelled to warn others of this item...If you are a junior ( 9/10 PETITE ) who is no taller than 5' tall, and you are shopping for leggings to wear while taking trash to dumpster in Brazil, then, buy these cheap grey leggings...The only positive things I can say are. ( the color is good, and the mailing pkg. was adequate, shipping time normal ) just overall disgusted, just one more reason why I am not spending cash on Bolo like I used to...

These are way better than the leggings I’ve been buying at Kohl’s. They aren’t see thru on my either, the ones at kohl’s are like walking around in tights where everyone can see my ass. These ones are super comfy and fit perfectly, I’m short I’m only 5’3 and they don’t hang past my feet like most leggings do.Edit: the original price was 9$ for leggings, these shot up RIGHT AFTER I posted a review. I love these leggings but they aren’t worth the 30$

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Leggings Ever, Says Leggings Connoisseur!

J. · October 17, 2015

I've been looking everywhere for the perfect leggings. I'd been lazily buying several $10 pairs from Target or cheaply on Bolo for years and just dealt with it when they ripped at the seams and bought a new replacement pair. Well, this year I'd had enough of those leggings that ripped, stretched and lost their elasticity after one wash or a couple of wears. They *looked* cheap. They didn't retain warmth, stand up to chub rub (I wear an XL) or feel comfortable around the waist band.I looked extensively for a pair that retained their stretch, kept me warm, stayed up without constant pulling, and could stand up to plus size chub rub in the thighs. I bought at least five pairs to test, both on and offline. This pair is my favortie, barring one other I'll mention later. American Apparel has tons of color options, and I am not only comfortable but CONFIDENT wearing these with a tunic or dress. They don't get baggy, they stay up without a lot of adjusting, and they keep me warm.The only pair I found that compares is Moon Tree Cotton Spandex Jersey Legging which has all of the attributes listed above, but is a little looser right at the ankle, which I love. It's a tiny, intentional flare just at the bottom so it doesn't squeeze uncomfortably.I know both of these cost a bit more but trust me, you won't be replacing them for awhile. I'll be updating as I think of it in the future. I assume that'll be often as these leggings are now a staple of my wardrobe!

The same as they've always been

I have been buying these leggings for 11 years and they are the same fit and feel as before, I am very happy.

Very satisfied

j.g. · July 27, 2016

I bought these leggings in navy having done quite a lot of looking ( Fatface/Whitestuff/M&S etc) and I am really pleased with them - the fit is god and they are clearly good quality thickish lycra - but not so thick that you coud only wear them in winter - medium quality thickness for all seasons - highly recommended.

Comfy

super comfy, love american apparel leggings

Plain cotton not shiny like photos.

K. · April 1, 2025

Not as advertised. It says “satin” finish. I bought by these a few years ago and they were the shiny finish in the photos but the pair that just arrived is plain cotton. No way would I pay that much for plain cotton leggings

tolle Leggings

Diese Leggings sitzen perfekt, rollen sich in der Taille nicht ein, bekommen keine Kniebeulen, und man kann sie wirklich den ganzen Tag tragen, ohne dass man sich eingeengt fühlt. Lediglich die Beine sind etwas zu lang, aber das Problem kenne ich bei mir, da ich nur 1,60 Meter groß bin, daher habe ich sie etwas gekürzt. Das Material ist gerade so fest, dass es keine unschönen "Dellen" etc. abmalt, wenn man `mal keine so lange Tunika oder ähnliches drüber trägt. Ganz klare Kaufempfehlung!
